REMINISCENCE: A POEM

... And finally it is hereThe day I told youYou went after stonesWhile you had diamondsThe stones have turned on youLike a cobra against its charmerYour heart is shattered by his slaying wordsFalse words that burn down the walls of the heartYou drank of his manlinessNow you spit out bitter salivaCoated with strange odorYour inside hurts as if on fireHe dashed it to youA filthy gift from his many companions

Once I begged the sun to rise in your nameI even bribed the birds to hum you a songWatching your beautiful face light-up in a graceful smileI told the rivers to dance for your happinessFor love made me crazyYour eyes were like a magic charmIt magneted my very heartWith each beating, I was lost in your armsThose days are far far gone

The day my eyes shed a riverI knew my love was higher than kilimanjaroYour words made me weakBut you left me like a total strangerDown the path of loveAll my affection, strippedLike the veil of a worthless stripperMy heart died a million deathsBut lived on at the thought of youYou kicked my soul away like a cheap article

My breath you stole awayWashed me with the waters of painA lost sheep, I wasGnashing my teeth in death's houseRemember I told you, 'this day shall come'

High above my worth soaredEven your mouth confess of my wondersWith knees bent you ask for another chanceTears have made a mockery of your facePromises decorate your sweet lipsAnd I look at your eyesMy guts are weak once againBecause I am still in love no moreWhat do I?...
